hmmmm....

PCK0 is *not*  a TC pin - it is a clock output from the Power Management 
Controller.
(Section 25.6)
It should be as easy as dividing down one of the primary clock sources 
and then enabling
the appropriate GPIO pin as the appropriate peripheral.

Ahah - there is the problem.....  PCK0 is not available on PC6 - it must 
be set as peripheral B
on pin PC1 or PB30 as Peripheral A - no other choices available...

PC6 is indeed TIOB2 (one of the counter timers)
